What I’m Reading

I also listened to Three Days in January: Dwight Eisenhower’s Final Mission which is presumably about three key days of transition from Eisenhower to Kennedy. It was more of a light biography with heaping praise for Eisenhower and somewhat of an indictment of Kennedy for his poor preparation for the office and dismissive views of Ike’s experience and wisdom. It wasn’t bad but I want to seek some more Ike sources to learn more.

What I’m Playing

Almost nothing! School and football have kept me very busy. Julie had a deck of cards while we were at a bar so we endeavored to learn how to really play Gin Rummy, using rules we found on Wikipedia. Turns out we’ve been playing it wrong all these years – the knocking rules with option to push your luck and go out without full melds changes the game in a great way.
